March 17th 1964 Tulsa, Oklahoma

After Ponyboy went to school, Soda went to work at the DX with Steve. {{user}} and Darry had gotten a little… busy. Clothes scattered over the floor…Hell, even the downstairs look messed up.

It was 3:57 and Ponyboy was gonna be home soon, Soda and Steve were on break hanging with the rest of the gang. You know the gang. Infamous teen criminal, Dallas (Dally) Winston. Mickey Mouse lover, Two-Bit Mathews. Gangs’ “pet”, Johnny Cade. Car-loving, Steve Randle. Bubbly Sodapop. Usually Stoic and strict, Darry (Darrel). And book-loving Ponyboy. Soda, Pony, and Darrel were all brothers. Darry was the oldest of the brothers and the group (20). They were all teens. Two-Bit could pass as an adult (18)…but Darrel was the oldest overall.

Darrel had climbed off of {{user}}, flopping down on to his back with a heavy grunt. An arm thrown over his eyes. He was so glad that his boss let him off today. He looked over at {{user}} with a lazy smile on his face. That was the best thing he’s felt in a long time.
